AT TIMES INACTIVITY IS PREFERABLE TO MINDLESS FUNCTIONING

Morton Feldman’s “Triadic Memories” (1981) — in Oakland, Jared Redmond on piano

what they’re talking about in Berkeley:

used book shopping in Berkeley is everything it should be (left: Moe’s, right: Dark Carnival)

Pulsar (Philip Zoubek, Franz Hautzinger, Ignaz Schick, Tony Buck) @ Sowieso, Berlin

Schlippenbach/Walsdorff Quartett @ Sowieso in Berlin — Alexander von Schlippenbach still killing it at 88 (one piano key per year)

stop me before I buy more books (Sheckley, Delany, Ellison, Moorcock, Cordwainer Smith)

Acid Mothers Temple @ Alturas Bar (Reno, Nevada)

I’m in Auburn, California, population 14,000, and I randomly spotted a poster for a Bill Frisell concert here tonight. I haven't seen Frisell live since 1988 (Naked City @ Ravinia, outside Chicago), so apparently it‘s an every-38-years thing for me

“The crystal mush model presents a view of plutons as crystal graveyards” — statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged… geology has played us for absolute fools

made a pilgrimage to the “13 Moons” and sky-facing “Sky Rock” petroglyph panels in the Volcanic Tablelands near Bishop, CA

NO MO MONO YO IN INYO (I’ve left Mono County and entered Inyo County)

tufa, so biological looking (but isn’t) (🥾 Black Point Fissures, Mono Lake, CA)

early-1960s graffiti @ Mono County Jail (Bridgeport, CA)

There’s no actual danger where I am, in central Reno, but this is still some wild shit to see from your own porch. Like a Bosch background

panther party at Jandek’s

rec of the day REMPIS/ADASIEWICZ/CORSANO "dial up" (areophonic CD) last of the cds chris handed me is a real fine & odd trio with sax, vibes & drums. chicago as hell, if you know what i mean. some of these cd-era guys 're really fucking good. who knew? aerophonicrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dial-up

How much for the entire bookcase? 🤤 (Bad Animal, in Santa Cruz CA, has a whole bookcase devoted to vintage Grove Press.)

Oh, yes. Scenes with extensive sand flats at low tide, karst terrane & a cave with speleothems, steep vertical cliffs composed of bedded limestone, & (one of my favorites) a black-sand beach with dunes & a glacier & lava flow meeting in the background. You'll love it. 🧪🪨⚒️📽️

DID YOU KNOW IF YOU FIND A HORSESHOE CRAB THATS BEEN TAGGED BY THE FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE AND SUBMIT THE LOCATION YOU SAW IT USING THE FORM ON FWS DOT GOV SLASH CRABTAG THEY SEND YOU A BEAUTIFUL CRAB PIN

this is what I yell at a millipede when it gets too close

RIP Mikel Dimmick, of Pelt 😔 noticed today that the band is watched over by Jandek on their Bandcamp page:

Primitive theme parks

but no one can say for sure

Things you find when hiking out by the edge of Reno

every last person who enabled or participated in this administration and their pointless cruelty that helps no one and makes nothing better can get fucked

I found a cave in the desert and I will be down here from now on. (Inyo County CA)

these petroglyphs were guarded by a colony of wild honeybees (location: Volcanic Tablelands Wilderness Study Area, Inyo County, California)

“Go back sleep, Thag. … You only dream we live just so long then die.”

some wag has envisioned a better world with a taco truck on every Nevada mountaintop (Ophir Hill, Virginia City, NV)

Earthquake!! gave Reno a good shake for about 10 seconds. USGS says magnitude 5.3, about 40 miles east of town.
